Kalispell City Council on Monday reviewed the municipality’s forthcoming public education campaign for an emergency responder levy request going before voters in March.
Council in November voted to put the levy proposal up to a vote after independent audits found the city’s Fire and Police departments short-staffed, with a response time lagging four minutes behind the national average.
Mayor Mark Johnson said that city services could no longer keep up with growth without added revenue.
